dangit Werner, I know you hate having your claws trimmed but if I don't you're gonna be in a lot more pain!

The most frustrating thing about building software is the feeling that I'm building sand castles that will eventually get wiped away. It takes a staggering amount of effort *just to keep software running exactly the same as before*. Not to add improvements! Not to fix bugs! Just to keep it working exactly the same as it once did. It's maddening if you want to have a sense of personal pride at something you built years ago. Your "legacy" is nonexistent, unless you stay on the treadmill.

Gross butt stuff 

Today is one of those days that started out with me wishing I could poop, then quickly turned to me wishing I could stop pooping.

Shout-out to my colon for making the 15 feet between my desk and my toilet an impossibly long marathon.

iRobot claims to care about robots, but yet they wouldn't let their own products register for support. Hypocrites.

Nothing like playing DDR while high as fuck on a gigantic TV that fills my entire field of view and earning my first S+ ever

Nihilism is easy when you realize there’s nothing involved

Part of becoming a more senior software developer is learning to accept the work of those more junior than me.

Could I have done a better job faster? Probably. Do I have time and motivation to actually do my work, his work, her work, and that work over there? No.

Modern life is: trying to figure out what weird random thing is connected to a specific wifi access point, turns out it's my fucking water heater

Werner, on the other hand, did way better, and he even enjoyed being introduced to one of my neighbors and didn't freak out at all! He's gotten really mellow in his old age.
